Peacock is having a Black Friday sale for $1.99/month (or $19.99 annually) (regularly $5.99/$59.99)

Finding free streaming feeds will suffice 

 

Exactly what my son, in college, said when I texted him about the $99 deal for Sunday Ticket for college kids, shareable on 5 devices:  "$0 for Stream East."

 

I'm generally not a pirater either, but like Simon I've reached my limit.  When my kid said that, instead of lecturing I just replied "then slide me the link for the Miami-Raiders game."

Thank you for the info.  I am sick of the nickel and dime aspect of having to watch the NFL and TV really.... I already paid for the YT sunday ticket and NFL network and now peacock.....

I could have just told the exact same story with my buddy's son who is still in college.

It took 5 minutes to have that site down pat and at this point I'll likely never go back.

Going to order one of these so I'll be in big screen business shortly.

And I'm not going to feel one bit of remorse or guilt about it.

Really good post.  It feels like we've largely failed as consumers.  Inch by inch we've given in and they've taken miles.  I think it's important that you've identified a line for yourself.

 

I'd imagine we've all been to that line and crossed it too many times for not feeling the momentum that there's enough people with you, drawing that same line.  

 

Yeah, it feels like one of those "nobody can take advantage of you without your permission" moments.

I hope 10m people feel the same way and decide to walk.

Thanks for the heavy lift, Chongli.  For these two games:

 

1) Christmas at my sister's on the 23rd...and she has a Peacock subscription.  I'd better check to make sure it's the appropriate level.

 

 

Hey, no problem! Glad to help the forum.

 

As far as tiers are concerned, there are only two levels: Peacock Plus and Peacock Premium Plus. Peacock Plus, despite its name, is the basic tier. It has all the live sports. With Peacock Premium Plus, you also get ad-free watching, downloading for offline watching, and your local NBC channel. So rest assured: your sister has the necessary tier.

It's not about the money, it's about the point. I can't support a service that makes me buy it to watch 1 NFL game.

Spectrum internet subscribers (I know, I'm an old fart) can get 1 year free. I signed up for it, but haven't tested it out yet. I just have to remember to cancel before they charge me.

Yep. It is one year free for cable TV subscribers (other than the Basic tier or TV Essentials product), and three months free for internet-only subscribers. The offer expires December 7.

Here is the fine print:

You have to remember to cancel though, and that is through Spectrum (I think).

I’m with you and @Simon on this, fed up. Since I am generally a rule follower, I doubt I’ll steal a feed. I’ll do something they’d like even less, I’ll stop caring. I’m already losing my interest in NFL matters where the Bills are not directly involved.

I was at the in laws and they're in their sixties.   Fully capable of streaming but they're tired of the effort.  Another account,  another password to manage,  another payment to remember to eventually cancel.  They've had to get wifi extenders etc.  I'm with you on hoping millions just stop and say enough.

Do you have airplay on your phone?  If so you may be able to cast to the TV instead of using that. If not, just buy this:

Android 10.0 TV Box 4GB RAM 32GB ROM, Q Plus Android Box H616 Quad-core WiFi 2.4GHz Support 6K H.265 HD 2.0 Ethernet https://a.co/d/9X5WcIw

2) IF the Bills fall into this Wild Card slot, I'm heading for a sports bar.  I got YouTube TV, I got Prime for Thursdays.  Come on, people.  Enough.

 

"They" are not happy till you are not happy......THAT is thier game.

I've messed with airplay a few times at about a 50% success rate. I'm not real tech savvy and its a complication that I'm not willing to endure repeatedly when it can be dismissed with a $15 hunk of wire. Plus if I bought that device, I'd spend a half day of my life just trying to figure out what the hell it is. 

Always appreciate you looking out for your people, though. 🤙

Can recall when I was a little kid my father talking about someday you'll have to pay to watch TV and the coin slot is kind of what I thought he meant.  I'm not sure if at the time he was actually talking about cable or something else, but certainly have gone to a pay model.

back thrn coins got you live action entertainment in a slightly different form at good time Charlie’s…

[zow2]

I don’t see 1.99/mo today on the app. It still only shows 5.99/mo.    How do i get the black friday deal?

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

It's like they are asking to be pirated.

So do they too have slots for debit cards today?

[djp14150]

FYI— if you are a customer of Comcast/Xfinity you can get it for free

I will also say that Youtube Sunday Ticket has absolutely not been worth it for me. It functions fine, but only working on Sunday 1 and 4 PM games, subject to local blackouts? that's not worth $400

[Buffalo03]

This has to be purchased by Black Friday? No later?

I've walked my dad through remote setup of a slingbox and we are still on speaking terms 😀.  If I can do that I am pretty sure we could handle a simple android TV hookup. PM me if you change your mind.
